Do you know someone who would enjoy this article?

Would you like to develop your confidence, practical skills and readiness for employment, volunteering or further learning?

We’ve launched a brand new course which we’re really excited about – Caritas Confident Careers.

Delivered thanks to support from the Manchester Adult Education Service, the course starts each term to reflect the needs of adults with caring responsibilities, health challenges or other barriers to participation.  Anyone 18 years of age or over who is ordinarily resident in the UK can join us at one of our start dates this month, or in January or April next year.

It’s a great opportunity to develop new skills and if you get in touch we will talk to you for an initial assessment and develop a personal action plan to help you achieve your future goals.

There are a selection of courses that can be selected as part of Caritas Confident Careers, including:

Be active:

Allotment and food-growing activities that develop teamwork, communication, planning, problem solving and environmental awareness through practical learning;

Keep learning:

English language and communication sessions focused on workplace English, applications, interviews and everyday interactions;

Connect:

Wellbeing and resilience workshops that build confidence, motivation, self-management and readiness for learning or work;

Give:

Volunteering development opportunities, including safeguarding, health and safety and community engagement training, helping learners gain practical experience and employability skills;

Take notice:

‘Living Here’ sessions that increase knowledge of local services, opportunities and community resources while strengthening confidence and independence.

If you feel you’d benefit from taking part, get in touch with our team by emailing lalleycentre@caritassalford.org.uk or telephone 0161 205 2754.

We look forward to seeing you there.
